The Sun Herald | 05/10/2006 | Coast included on America's endangered places list

The Sun Herald | 05/10/2006 | Coast included on America's endangered places list: "The National Trust for Historic Preservation has included the Mississippi Coast's historic communities and landmarks on its 2006 list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. The list was made public this morning.

'It goes without saying that Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc on the Gulf Coast,' Richard Moe, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, said in a press release.

'And, unfortunately, many important historic sites were compromised by the storm. Landmarks such as Beauvoir and communities like Gulfport were seriously damaged and deserve to be restored.'"
